This school, for its size and resources, has an excellent amount of class selections, including many AP and Honors classes. I graduated in 2007 and there were many exceptional teachers, however many have retired or are very close to retirement. However, the younger replacements are more than adequate to take on the responsibilities and have proven themselves excellent educators. The school is very small which is good for class sizes and a low student-teacher ratio, however it lacks the ability to diversify students in preparation for college. The activities and sports struggle from the availability of participants, but more so the lack of funding, thus restricting students from many sport or EC scholarships for college. Academically wonderful, but painfully small and and financially restricted-we don't even have a football team.
The teachers are overpaid for the amount of students that are enrolled. They do not possess the dedication they should have. The entire board of ed is a joke. They offer no after school care for working parents. We pay a lot of taxes just to pay the teacher a large salary and the kids lose out.
It is a small school but offers a respectable amount of AP courses and Honors courses available on Campus and through the University of North Dakota distance learning. The majority of graduating SR. go on to college or advanced certificate programs. Vocational Education is provided through Area Vocational schools for Agricultural (Ledyard Vo-Ag) and Trade (Grasso Tech) to community children not wishing to pursue a traditional college prep.
What would you like to see happen within the immediate(1-3 years) future? Do you have any long term suggestions? Are you willing to volunteer to make this a great place to be? Just wondering...appreciate your feedback.
